1 DECKING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR A SUCCESSFUL GeoDeck PROJECT Select the best board profile for your deck GeoDeck is offered in a Traditional S4S rectangular board, and a Tongue & Groove board. Our S4S board allows gaps between the boards. While the T&G board offers the appearance of a continuous surface. Traditional S4S boards are your best choice if debris from trees or other sources is a consideration. S4S boards are also the best option if air circulation under the deck will be limited, as most structural materials require air circulation to avoid degradation resulting from moisture build-up. Tongue & Groove boards can be used when sufficient air circulation can be provided to the deck substructure. While GeoDeck deck boards don t require any ventilation, most structural materials do. Tongue and Groove boards should always be gapped 1/32 to 1/16 to allow for expansion and contraction related to variations in temperature, and to allow for substructure shrinkage. Using a Green Bay Decking gapping tool can simplify the gapping process, and deliver premium results. Contact Green Bay Decking to obtain a gapping tool if they are not available at your Green Bay Decking supplier. Inconsistencies in butt joints and miter joints can occur over time as your deck is subjected to temperature swings and other factors such as substructure framing movement. Follow the installation instructions relating to the gapping of butt joints, miter joints, and intersect points to minimize the effects of temperature related expansion and contraction.

2 Important Installation Tips Please read and follow these installation tips for a successful GeoDeck installation All composite decking will expand and contract as temperatures change. To minimize adverse effects resulting from such changes, it is best to install deck boards during moderate temperatures. Avoid installation during temperature extremes. Proper gapping should be provided throughout the deck installation. A minimum gap of 3/16 should be provided where the deck meets a wall, and a 3/16 gap should be provided where the deck meets a post or other object. Tongue and groove boards should be gapped a minimum of 1/32 between boards. (Use of the Green Bay Decking gapping tool is recommended). Traditional, rectangular S4S boards should be installed with a minimum 3/16 gap between boards. Be sure to use the recommended fastener for your application. Genuine Green Bay Decking fasteners will deliver optimum results. All face fasteners should be located at least 3/4 from the ends and edges of deck boards. Fasteners should be placed near the deck boards structural septums. Complete installation and care instructions can be found on our website at Please call Green Bay Decking at for additional information. Thank you for using GeoDeck September 1, 2017 V17.5 Page 2 of 16

Additionally, regular cleaning may help Tongue & Groove boards to drain properly. A pressure washer may be used with a fan-tip that is guided to move in the direction of the deck grain. Be careful not to damage the boards and follow proper safety precautions. Scratches Although GeoDeck is durable, care should be taken to avoid scratching. If scratches do appear, it may be possible to carefully draw a stainless brush across the scratches in the direction of the grain to remove or reduce the scratches. Always test a small area to make sure the surface texture is not damaged. Removing Stains Most stains can be removed with a generalpurpose household cleaner, concentrated dish soap, laundry detergent, degreaser or composite deck cleaner. A plastic bristle brush will make the task easier. Remember that it is usually easier to remove fresh stains. Removing Microbial Stains Microbial stains, such as algae and black mold, will not damage your GeoDeck. Algae and black mold can generally be removed with a pressure washer and plastic bristle scrub brush, and cleaners designed to remove mold and mildew. Always test a small area before proceeding.

5 GENERAL INTRODUCTION GeoDeck is available in: S4S Profile: 5/4 Traditional (S4S) - Available in 12, 16, 20 and 24 lengths Tongue & Groove Profile: 5/4 T&G - Available in 12, 16, 20 and 24 lengths GeoDeck trim boards are available in two profiles: Feature Strips: Provides an attractive divider strip on the main deck - Available in 12 lengths Perimeter Strip: Provides an attractive alternative picture frame of the main deck - Available in 12 lengths GeoDeck comes in a variety of colors. See the Color Selector at for more details. The complete GeoDeck system includes deck boards, post sleeves, fascia, railings, balusters, end caps, post caps, post base trim, and handrail collars everything needed to create a greatlooking deck. All GeoDeck boards manufactured by Green Bay Decking are identified with laser engraved identification data, which can be found at 4 foot intervals on the edge of each board. This identification includes the manufacturer's name, the date the product was manufactured, and the ICC report number - ESR This information is helpful to local building code administrators. Since GeoDeck is made from a formulation of reclaimed paper by-product, rice hulls (a rapidly renewable resource), and other high-quality materials, its properties differ from those of wood products. Therefore, GeoDeck has different handling and installation requirements that should be taken into consideration during the planning of your deck installation. The following illustrated instructions have been provided to help you understand and take advantage of these differences with appropriate installation techniques. Following these instructions, along with good building practices, will deliver the highest quality installation, and will assure many years of outdoor living enjoyment. Local Building Codes You will want to follow all local building codes and good construction practices as you design and build your deck. Most municipal building codes have specific deck construction requirements. Failure to follow local building codes, including filing plans and scheduling inspections with the municipal building inspector, may result in costly post-construction modifications. In addition to local codes, be sure to follow the instructions in this manual that specifically pertain to GeoDeck products. Failure to do so may affect your Green Bay Decking warranty. Feel free to contact us toll free if you have questions on any of our products, or to assist in locating a quality decking professional. Installation Tools Typical woodworking tools can be used. A general guide of tools you ll need is: Safety glasses Tape measure Circular saw (with 24 tooth carbide blade) Jig saw Pencil Chalk line Framing Square Driver with clutch settings (to avoid overdriving screws) Utility knife September 1, 2017 V17.5 Page 5 of 16

6 SCHEDULING YOUR PROJECT Unloading, Storage, and Handling GeoDeck GeoDeck boards should be stored on a dry, flat surface with support every 48 inches. Do not stack GeoDeck more than four skids high. Cutting and drilling of GeoDeck does not produce respirable dust. However, it is good practice to always wear protective equipment such as safety glasses and hearing protection when operating power equipment. Cautions SUB-STRUCTURE FRAMING Installing Feature & Perimeter Strips Layout your deck using current framing techniques outlined in the International Residential Code (IRC), as well as local code requirements. The cutaway detail graphic shows the joist, 2x4 spacer, and blocking border. This framing system provides a solid support for your perimeter strip or feature strip. Expansion and Contraction Every material expands and contracts as temperatures change, and composite decking is no exception. Avoid potential problems by allowing time for proper acclimation of GeoDeck to local temperatures. Inconsistencies in butt joints and miter joints can occur over time as your deck is subjected to temperature swings and other factor such as substructure framing movement. It is best to mark, cut, and install boards when they are all at roughly the same temperature. It is recommended that all boards be kept at similar temperatures. Boards that have been in the sun for several hours will have expanded more than those kept in the shade, and consequently will contract more when they cool. If possible, install GeoDeck during the coolest part of the day. Although the ideal temperature for installation is 60 degrees Fahrenheit, this is not always possible. Thus, these steps help reduce the effects of expansion and contraction: storing boards in the shade; making final cuts after boards have cooled. September 1, 2017 V17.5 Page 6 of 16

7 The following two illustrations show how to complete a corner with and without a post using the same framing techniques. Blocking While internal blocking may not be required, it can help to establish and maintain structural stability and plane across the deck surface. Joists should be installed with 3 points of contact. If the deck structure only features a ledger and one carrying beam, it s a good idea to install internal blocking. Joist Spacing The intermediate joist is the framing necessary for Feature Strips. GeoDeck decking can be installed on joists spaced up to 24 on center for perpendicular installation, or 20 on center for diagonal installations. Be certain that the joist system is properly squared. Stair Treads GeoDeck deck boards can be used for stair treads, with adequate care taken for structural support. Stair tread installation should be made on joists that are installed no more than 12 on center. September 1, 2017 V17.5 Page 7 of 16

8 Air Circulation Air Circulation is not required for Green Bay Decking deck boards however, sufficient airflow may be required by the substructure material manufacturer or local building code to properly ventilate the deck substructure. It is recommended that the installation instructions of the substructure material manufacturer and building code be followed. Follow all gapping instructions for Green Bay Decking materials. Failure to gap decking properly may void the material warranty. GENERAL GUIDELINES Board Layout A wide variety of board patterns can be achieved when installing GeoDeck S4S or Tongue & Groove deck boards. For decks less than 24 in length, single board lengths are recommended. For decks that are more than 24 long, several options are available for decking installation. Deck Drainage It is recommended that the deck be sloped slightly (1/16 per foot) away from the house for water run-off, particularly for Tongue & Groove boards. Proper flashing of the ledger board is essential. Proper slope will help water drain from the deck. Perimeter or Feature Strip Installation: GeoDeck Perimeter Strips may have to be butted together if the outer edge of the deck is being picture framed. If the deck has a rail system, it is recommended you butt the Perimeter Strips at the post. Be sure to allow butt-joint spacing just as you would between deck-board butt-joints. Water Drainage Systems Water drainage systems, such as an EPDM type membrane or a commercially available underdeck drainage system, may be used with Traditional S4S deck boards, assuming that the boards are spaced at 3/16 or more. This spacing will allow adequate water drainage. A sleeper system substructure may be used with Green Bay Decking materials in a rooftop installation. The sleeper system should be constructed with code compliant structural building materials. The supports should run in the direction of the roof slope to allow for proper water drainage. Failure to gap decking properly or failure to follow building code may void the material warranty. Refer to proper gapping procedures and air circulation found in this guide, as well as planning related to fastener lengths. In this type of installation, it is important to avoid compromising the integrity of the roofing system. Be sure to allow a 3/16 gap between board endssmaller if installation temperature is above normal, and larger if temperature is below normalas boards tend to expand with increasing temperatures and contract with decreasing temperatures. Inconsistencies in butt joints and miter joints can occur over time as your deck is subjected to temperature swings and other factors such as substructure framing movement. September 1, 2017 V17.5 Page 8 of 16

9 Butt Joints If installing boards using butt joints (end to end), double joists are required, so that no fastener is installed within ¾ of board end. Sister joists may also be installed. The sister joist may be small dimension lumber such as a 2x4, as long as the joist is securely fastened. Be sure to allow minimum 3/16 gap between board ends smaller if installation temperature is above normal, larger if temperature is below normal as boards tend to expand with increased temperatures and contract with decreasing temperatures. Inconsistencies in butt joints and miter joints can occur over time as your deck is subjected to temperature swings and other factors such as substructure framing movement. Board Gapping Keep the decking installation square as you proceed. Check for square every few boards and adjust the board-to-board gap as necessary to compensate. Maintain a minimum board-to-board gap to assure proper drainage of rain and snow melt. Traditional (S4S) deck boards should be installed with a spacing guide to ensure a minimum of 3/16 of space between boards. Board Spacing Deck boards should be laid out prior to installation to achieve the most pleasing pattern and brush tone visual effect. Always provide a minimum gap of 3/16 to allow for expansion where the deck meets the house. Siding or molding can later conceal this gap. Always calculate deck width to avoid having to rip a deck board or to have an adequately sized board if a board must be ripped. Allow a gap of 3/16 between the deck board and any rail system posts or other obstructions. The post sleeve and post base trim will cover the gap when placed over the post. Tongue & Groove boards should be installed with a gap of 1/32 to 1/16. Always use a spacing guide to maintain that spacing. Green Bay Decking has spacing guides available. Call us if your lumber yard does not have spacing tools available. An installation that is not properly gapped will restrict water run-off and may cause buckling, damaging the board and voiding the Green Bay Decking warranty.

10 Fasteners Avoid fastening within 3/4 of the ends of the deck boards to prevent cracking. GeoDeck Traditional S4S Decking: Use #7, #8 or #9 stainless or coated "Trim Head" screws 2-1/4" (or longer). For best results use genuine Green Bay Decking Fasteners. Fasteners should be driven through the tongue at a 55 to 60 angle to the horizon, through the tongue-to-shoulder junction, and into the joist below. Assure that a gap of 1/32 to 1/16 is provided. Use a gauge to assure uniform gapping. An installation that is too tight will restrict water run-off and may cause buckling. Do not use composite deck screws with reverse threads, as they will compromise the critical attachment of the deck board to the substructure. Apply a minimum of two fasteners on every joist, and three at the ends of each board. If using a Feature Strip, allow the ends that will butt the Feature Strip to run long and overlap the opening where the Feature Strip will be installed. These ends will be trimmed to length later. (See Feature & Perimeter Strip Installation on page 12.) Perimeter Strips and Feature Strips: Use #7, #8 or #9, 3" (or longer) stainless or coated "trim head" screws. For best results use genuine Green Bay Decking Fasteners. Insert the fasteners through the 5/4 hollow portion of the board. Do not fasten through the wing (flat edge) that overlaps the deck boards. Insert 2 fasteners every 12 to 16 inches. Avoid fastening within 3/4" of the ends of the boards. Trim head screws can be concealed by driving the screws just below the surface of the board, gathering the material displaced by the screw on top of the screw head, and gently tapping it with a hammer. GeoDeck Tongue & Groove Decking: Use #7, #8 or #9 stainless or coated "Trim Head" screws 2-1/4" (or longer). For best results use genuine Green Bay Decking Fasteners. Apply one fastener on every joist. It is also recommended to apply two fasteners through the face at the end of each board. Figuring Your Screws You will use 1 screw per joist, per deck board, plus 4 per board (2 face screws at each end). If your joists are spaced at 16 o.c., the following will hold true. 12 board 14 Screws per board 16 board 17 Screws per board 20 board 20 Screws per board 24 board 23 Screws per board September 1, 2017 V17.5 Page 10 of 16

11 Fascia: Install fascia to the outer joists (rim joist and end joists) of the deck substructure. Use a minimum of three evenly spaced screws every 12 (or two every 12 if the fascia has been ripped to 6 or less). End-to-end butt-joints must have a 3/16 minimum gap to allow for expansion and contraction with variations in temperature. There are several methods of concealing the gaps in fascia butt-joints, as follow: o Leave a wider gap and cover with a ripped piece of fascia installed vertically. Be sure the screws that attach the cover do not limit movement of the boards being butted together. o Apply a dark wood stain (similar to the color of the fascia) to the joist 1-2 in each direction from where the butt-joint will lie. As the fascia opens and closes, the wood stain will render the gap practically invisible. The same 3/16 gap should be allowed at corners to allow for expansion and contraction. A corner molding can be ripped from a spare piece of decking or post sleeve. This cover should only be attached through one side to allow for expansion and contraction. (Please see illustration) Alternatively, the wood-stain process described above can be used here to conceal the required gap. September 1, 2017 V17.5 Page 11 of 16

12 PARALLEL OR PERPENDICULAR DECKING INSTALLATION Start decking. Leave 3/16 between house; cover later with siding or molding Install boards with extra to be trimmed later. Mark and cut boards next to posts or house to actual length before attaching. The skill saw will not cut up to these areas. Boards should overlap joist (allowing 3/16 for expansion / contraction) where Perimeter Strips and Feature Strips will be added. Snap a chalk line to indicate final cut length. Recommend using white or lavender chalk. Cut off excess Install Feature and Perimeter Strips when all decking is complete. September 1, 2017 V17.5 Page 12 of 16

13 DIAGONAL DECKING INSTALLATION Cut corner piece and attach for guide. Always fasten ¾ from edge of board. Cut and attach boards as you go. Trim excess after all boards are attached. Boards should overlap joist (allowing 3/16 for expansion / contraction) where Perimeter Strips will be added. Snap a chalk line on all edges to indicate final cut length. Cut corner piece and attach for guide. Always fasten 3/4 from edge of board. Cut off excess. Install Feature and Perimeter Strips when all decking is complete. September 1, 2017 V17.5 Page 13 of 16

14 FEATURE STRIP, PERIMETER STRIP & FASCIA BOARD INSTALLATION Feature Strips are placed between decking joints. Completed deck after all Feature and Perimeter Strips have been installed. Fascia Board Installation File or route edges when butt joints are unavoidable. To minimize the appearance of expansion and contraction, always butt Perimeter Strips at a post. The joint will be less visible when behind a post and covered with base trim. Measure areas to be covered with Fascia. Cut and attach with three fasteners every 12 using same fasteners used for decking. If the Fascia is 6 wide or less, two fasteners every 12 should be used. Perimeter Strips are placed around outer edge of decking. Allow for a maximum overhang of 1. Baluster or post sleeve material can be used to cover corners. Attach with brads on one side only to allow for expansion and contraction. September 1, 2017 V17.5 Page 14 of 16
